My thoughts on the Tube Strikes
The TFL strike troubled many underground users a couple of days last week; this was all due to Boris Johnson who refused to nagiotiate with unions on behalf of the ticket office workers. Boris Johnson seemed to have an ambition to make all the ticket office workers redundant, and replace them with ticket machienes. Hang on Boris, what about tourists? You can't expect tourists who stay temporarily buy a £10 oyster card, when they will probably never use it for future use anyway!! There is ALWAYS a use for ticket offices, especialy if the machienery breaks. Because you didn't want to discuss or comprimise this situation with the unions, you pissed off 2 million people that day.

Who says they have to buy an oyster card? You can buy a ticket instead….
ReplyDelete"There is always a use for ticket offices", really? Less than 3% of journeys on the tube last year involved trip to a ticket office to buy a ticket, and this has been on a sharp downward trend.
